May 17th is International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia. It is celebrated on May 17, because on May 17, 1990 homosexuality was removed from the World Classification of Diseases of the World Health Organization. With International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia in mind, the theme for today will be films that highlight fluidity of sexuality... enjoy!
